Three Fun Recipes Perfect for Sangiovese

December 27, 2011

If wine is the sauce to all food, then Vinny No Neck is the best friend to everything from duck ragu to beef brisket. Here are three great recipes to try next time you have a bottle of our Sangiovese/Merlot blend open.

Garganelli with Duck Ragu
by Mario Batali via the Food Network

Sangiovese is a perfect wine for the acidic properties of tomatoes, which is why it's used along side so many traditional pasta dishes in its most famous region, Chianti. Here, Mario Batali creates a wonderful ragu with duck legs that adds a gourmet feel to the course. The sauce also calls for two cups of, you guessed it, Sangiovese. When you cook with a wine, drink that wine and it's a can't fail pairing. Also note that Mario makes his own pasta, which is a fun but labor intensive way to make dinner. We don't judge if you purchase some fresh pasta from any gourmet grocer.

Beef Brisket
by Marczyk Fine Foods

Marczyk Fine Foods is one of our favorite gourmet grocers in Denver, and they offer a variety of recipes that can (and should) be made with ingredients at the quality level they offer. This beef brisket recipe is delicious and offers a variety of sweet, spicy and savory flavors that are playful and easy to consume. Just like Vinny, which can hold up to all of the above and enhance the body of the meat.

Grilled Pizza with Spicy Italian Sausage
by Bon Appetit

We love Vinny with a pizza loaded with goodies, and you really cannot go wrong with this pairing. Italian sausage has a special place with this wine though, the fruit flavors of the wine complementing the bold tastes of the sausage (the best spicy sausage in Denver is available just around the corner from us at Carbone's). Here, Bon Appetit suggests grilling your pizza, which is one of the best ways to cook a pie at home. Your BBQ can reach super high temps, which come close to mimicking the heat found at in the oven of your favorite pizza place.

Denver Eats: Sunnyside Dining

August 23, 2011

With the explosion of top nosh in LoHi and the Highlands, Sunnyside often gets lost in the foodie conversation. Perhaps for good reason (at least until recently).

[caption id="attachment_665" align="alignright" width="233" caption="The new skillets at Hash in Denver bring a bonafide breakfast option to the Sunnyside food scene."]Hash Denver Breakfast[/caption]

For too long the neighborhood food scene was just a handful of cheap ethnic joints along 38th Avenue. With the recent openings of several new restaurants, Sunnyside can now lay claim to some great (and diverse) food options.

Here’s a where you need to eat in Sunnyside.

Buchi Café Cubano
2651 W. 38th Ave., 303-458-1328

It’s hard to get a good cubano north of Miami, especially in a city like Denver that has never had a strong Cuban heritage. Well, Buchi has changed that with its classic take on the sandwich piled with ham, roasted pork, swiss, pickles and mustard. There’s a whole lot more, too: The café con leches are stellar, the empanadas are crisp and flavorful, and the weekend brunch will put just about anyone in a food coma. Plus, the patio out front is a perfect spot for fresh-made mojito on a warm summer afternoon.

Carbone’s Italian Sausage Market
1221 W. 38th Ave., 303-455-2893

One of the few leftovers from the old school Italian days of Sunnyside, Carbone’s is the best Italian deli in the city. Owners Rosa and Nick Lonardo have been running the shop for nearly four decades, serving imported meats and cheeses, handmade sausages and meatballs, and one of the most filling $6 sandwiches in the city.

The Original Chubby’s
1231 W. 38th Ave., 303-455-9311

It’s hard to beat Chubby’s for dirt cheap Mexican fare — from tacos and breakfast burritos smootherd in green chili to a Mexican hamburguesa — plus it’s open as late as 3 a.m. on the weekends.

Ernie’s Pizza Bar
2915 W. 44th Ave., 303-955-5580

Every neighborhood needs a good pizza spot, right? Well, Ernie’s filled that niche when it took over the spot that was formerly home (for decades) to Three Sons. This hopping pizza par serves quality pies in a fresh, young atmosphere complete with a pool table and skee ball. It also pulls double duty as the neighborhood’s sports bar with a dozen of TVs line across the bar and throughout the dining room.

Hash
2339 W. 44th Ave., 303-477-5406

The ever-rotating café/breakfast spot has finally settled on a concept that seems to be working. Hash is a simple breakfast joint that specializes in an array of hashes served in iron skillets. There are still plenty of carry overs from this location’s days as Café Café, with a full assortment of crepes and fresh coffee and tea. The sustainably minded restaurant also plans to harvest much of its produce from its own garden in the future. The coffee and teas are still just as good as ever, too.

Lou’s Food Bar
1851 W. 38th Ave., 303-458-0336

Frank Bonanno has expanded his food empire to the northside with the early 2011 opening of Lou’s, renovating the space of one of the most notorious bars in the area. It’s been a good changeover for foodies. This place has a killer wine program, and mixes the upscale French-inspired cooking techniques of Bonanno with a casual, neighborhood vibe that translates onto a menu that features a variety of options including housemade sausages, påtés, fried chicken, and lobster and shrimp sausage cassoulet.

Paxia
4001 Tejon St., 720-583-6860

The folks who brought the delicious flavors of northern Mexico to northwest Denver with Los Carbincitos opened this upscale Mexican restaurant at 40th and Tejon in August. The recently renovated space has the most expansive patio in the neighborhood — perfect for the freshmade cocktails like the blackberry mojito. The cuisine is seafood (read, shrimp) heavy and is based on the flavors of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Stingray Lounge
2911 W. 38th Ave., 303-955-0815

Certainly not a spot for true food lovers, Sting Ray Lounge is still a welcome spot in Sunnyside. It’s a bar first with live music often, with beer-soaking foods such as the gut-busting tator tot options (topped with bacon, cheese and several other options) and pizza to hold over anyone who’s been at the bar a few hours.

Bonacquisti Wine Co.
4640 Pecos St., Unit I, 303-477-WINE

Of course, the Sunnyside food scene is anchored by the Bonacquisti Wine Co. winery on 46th and Pecos. The tasting room is open Thursdays–Saturdays and by appointment. The winery is also a part of Colorado Winery Row, a collection of four Colorado wine tasting rooms.
